Info
Keelesdale is an underground light rail transit (LRT) station under construction on Line 5 Eglinton, a new line that is part of the Toronto subway system. It will be located in the Silverthorn neighbourhood at the intersection of Keele Street and Eglinton Avenue, and is scheduled to open in 2021. Destinations include the York Civic Centre, Keelesdale Park and Chris Tonks Arena, York Memorial Collegiate, George Harvey Collegiate Institute, the Humber River Regional Hospital's Keele campus, and the Silverthorn neighbourhood.During the planning stages for Line 5 Eglinton, the station was given the working name "Keele", which is identical to the pre-existing Keele station on Line 2 Bloor–Danforth. On November 23, 2015, a report to the TTC Board recommended giving a unique name to each station in the subway system (including Line 5 Eglinton). Thus, the LRT station was renamed "Keelesdale".The primary entrance and an off-street bus loop will be located at the northeast corner of Eglinton Avenue and Trethewey Drive replacing former EMS Station 19 and a car wash. A secondary entrance will be on the northwest corner of Eglinton Avenue and Trethewey Drive adjacent to York Memorial Collegiate. A third entrance will be at the southeast corner of Eglinton Avenue and Keele Street on the site of a former parking lot. All three entrances will have a station plaza with a landscaped public space. The station will have four bus bays plus on-street connections for TTC buses. There will be outdoor parking for 60 bicycles.
